Activity 2

Program strategy & design - the "i have a dream" foundation is working to increase the organization's impact by constantly improving our efforts to support current affiliates. As part of this effort, the foundation conducted surveys to evaluate current programs offerings across the affiliate network and provided resources to address areas that needed improvement. The foundation is in the process of implementing our college savings account (csa) program with three affiliates (new york-metro, des moines, and oregon) in fy2014, with the goal of rolling out the program across the broader network in fy2015. Csas have been shown to increase a students college-going mindset and positively impact the college-going rate of children living in under-resourced communities. Ihdfs goals in creating csas for dreamers include increasing the number of dreamers getting to and through college, and allowing the public to help support dreamers college dreams by providing a safe and accessible investment vehicle. Ihdf commits to achieving the following set of csa program goals for this fiscal year.
